This is me




My name is Derrick Vogel and I am a junior at Elmira College in Elmira, New York.  My major here at EC is criminal justice, though I am not certain what I wish to do in the future.  I am a member  of the Elmira College Men's Basketball team and have been the starting point guard since my freshman year.  I am currently 20 years old and will be turning 21 on May 21.  My hometown is Bel Air, Maryland, which is only minutes north of Baltimore.  I love my hometown and wouldn't mind moving back there when my schooling is all said and done.  To me it feels pretty isolated and away from a lot of traffic, but at the same time there is enough going on where it doesn't get boring.

The course www.women sounded very appealing to me when selecting third term classes for several different reasons.  First of all, a few friends of mine were enrolled in the course last year and had nothing but good things to say about it as a whole.  They proceeded to tell me how great of a time they had.  Also, while recommending this course my friends continued to tell me how great of a person Professor Maluso is, and that I would not regret signing up for this course.  In addition, the course is six credits, therefore I would only be taking one class for the next six weeks, rather than two.

I am a very environmental friendly person.  As a child, I spent countless hours outside just wasting the day away, whether it was playing sports, hiking through the woods, or just roaming my neighborhood.  For example, when growing up, the second I got home from school I would drop off my bookbag in the house and immediately head outside.  I would then be outside until my parents called me in for dinner, in which I rushed to finish and was back out the door.  Now that third term is amongst us, I am hoping for great weather, preferably as warm as can be.  The weather here in Elmira to me isn't very favorable.  It seems very inconsistent and as soon as it starts getting warm and gets your hopes up, it seems to snow the next day.  I am ready for summer!
